Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Kansas

My husband and a friend of mine had pictures go viral of them on a veterans memorial statue in wichita, ks. There were no signs posted that said not to climb on the statues and they did not break them. Our local news station has picked up the story and we have been receiving death threats, and they even pulled his previous criminal record and posted it in the comments of the news story. My husband is in fear of his life and does not want to leave the house. They made a mistake and we have apologized to the military but I think this has went way to far. What can we do about it? I even begged the news station not to pick up the story, because it is not news but they refused. I even spoke to the reporter, her boss, and also his boss.

It sounds like your husband and his friend need to hire an attorney, and/or a PR specialist to work through the media and social networks to revive his good name. If there has been even a hint that they will be charged with a crime or violation, they need to consult directly with an attorney immediately.

Good luck
